Frequently Asked Questions
We install Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Worcester Bosch air conditioning systems. Brand selection depends on the specific requirements of your premises, your budget, and what suits the installation environment. We recommend the most appropriate system after the survey rather than defaulting to a single brand.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme was expanded in late 2025, and in 2027, it’s going to include a 2,500 pound grant towards air-to-air heat pumps, which are essentially modern air conditioning systems. This applies to eligible properties where the air-to-air system is being installed as a heating solution rather than a standalone cooling measure. We can advise on eligibility at the survey stage. See our air conditioning grant resource for more detail.
Listed building consent is needed for any works affecting the character of a listed building. We check the planning position for every Torbay installation. In most cases, the outdoor unit can be sited in a position that does not require consent, but we confirm this at the survey stage.
